Stylish ideas for everyone!

Christmas is around the corner and what comes with it, buying a gifts for your loved ones. Whether is your mum, sister or a friend, finding something special they will like might be the best part about festive time, but it can also be  the biggest challenge.

To start with, stick to the neutral pallet. Unless you know that the person is a big fan of neon shades, don’t take a risk and go with the tones of beige, black, grey and white.  When it comes to clothing and accessories, there is no way that someone will hate their camel scarf or won’t use black tote bag! While picking beauty products, go for the higher quality brands as well as the timeless colours. Picking a beauty gift set is also a good idea, especially when you know what kind of the products they use on daily basis.

Make sure that all your gifts are well made and sleek. Bonus points for investing in better quality of the products and timeless pieces. Take some inspiration from the guide below and sort out your Christmas shopping on time!

Your Top Guide with the Best Fashion Promotions

Black Friday is around the corner and as we all know is the last chance before Christmas to buy gifts for everyone with nicely discounted price or just another good opportunity to treat yourself!

Some fashion brands have already started promoting their Black Friday deals and will continue to do it until next Monday, but remember that the biggest hit is always on Friday. Thankfully you don’t have to spend your Friday standing in the massive queues for ages and luckily you can get all the best occasions not only in the stores, but also online.

How to get the best deals on Black Friday?

1. Do your research. Check the prices of the items you are planning to buy before they go on sale, as sometimes retailers increase the prices before sale to make a discount look more attractive ( but in the end of the day, you feel like you’ve saved a lot, but you actually don’t)
2. Check multiple stores for the best price. Very often one brand has multiple stockist and their prices can be different as well. Check the item you like in few places before buying it ( amazon, zalando, asos etc).
3. Be ready. Set up the accounts in the online shops where you planning to spend your money to save yourself a time and avoid situation when your item goes out of stock.
4. Set the budget! Black Friday is great, but Boxing day it’s also around the corner and we all know that for the best deals in the UK we usually have to wait until December, so don’t spend everything!

Top Sale Tip* Put the items you like in your basket just before sale starts and buy it the minute after watch hits midnight! You will make sure you get the desire pieces in your sizes with the best price!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

With Christmas decorations, mulled wine and mince pies in the shops it’s hard to ignore that the festive period is upon us and what comes with it, all the Christmas parties you will be attending. It might sound exciting for some, but with overwhelming choice from retailers and shops constantly promoting their party edition products, it’s easy to get lost and confused when it comes to your outfit ideas. Well, not anymore, as in this post you can find all the options worth your attention. Browse through the dresses, pick the one for yourself and use my styling tips to complete the final look.

 

Little Black Dress

You just can’t go wrong with this wardrobe classic; however if you want to spice up your black dress look, pick the one with some print or shiny detail.

Styling tip: Style the dress with pattern thighs (Gucci tights kind of look) and ankle boots.

Shine Bright

Sequins aren’t just for New Year, so if you like everything shiny or you want to spark during this festive season, try one of these dresses.

Styling tip: Break the rules and instead of wearing stiletto heels with sequin dress, style it with knee high boots or heeled ankle boots.

Midi Dress

Who said that midi dress can’t be as sexy as mini alternative? I hope no one, as these dresses can not only highlight your curves but also make you look super chic.

Styling tip: Wear them with high heels, it will smooth your posture and make your outfit even more elegant.

Glam Style

All kind of bright festive colours, puff sleeves, bows and other crazy alternatives are just here ready to be pick for those who don’t like simple solutions. Loose fit dresses are currently trending all over the social media and you might fall in love with them as much as I did!

Styling tip: Don’t go crazy with accessories, as most of the dresses are already a lot, keep it simple with details to make sure you don’t look like Christmas Tree (yes, even during Christmas time is not source of your fashion inspiration)

Signature Denim Looks

Gigi Hadid quickly dominated the fashion business and become an icon in the modelling world.  Along with magazine covers, campaigns and countless publications, Gigi is also known as one of the best style inspirations when it comes to street style outfits. Every time she steps out, her looks are always polished and worth saving into your Pinterest board. Her casual style is a blend of California cool girl look mixed with chilled vibe, sexy stylishness and elegance.

Denim is a major part of Gigi’s wardrobe and whether she’s dressing for lunch with friends, event or a night out, she loves to use jeans as a base of her outfit. She can pull off denim like no one else; from mixing high heels with oversized jumpers and blending high street pieces with high end brands, she knows how to match it all to achieve stylish finish.

Although some of her casual meets elegance outfits can be challenging to replicate, this few high street alternatives inspired by five of Gigi Hadid denim looks should make it easier.

Style Essentials

Creating an outfit with timeless pieces, that you might actually already have in your wardrobe can save you not only a lot of time, but also loads of money. Investing into capsule styles, that will always be in fashion no matter what the trends are, is exactly what you need to do to improve your style.  Having more classic pieces can be a perfect solution to start being more sustainable with your spending and having less struggle with completing an outfit in the morning.  Have a look at first five wardrobe essentials and create your new timeless wardrobe collection!

How many of them you already have in your closet?

1. Black Blazer

A good blazer can make your outfit look way more expensive and stylish than it is. The black blazer is a must have in any fashionistas wardrobe and an easy answer to the question “what should I wear today?”. Style it with t-shirt, slip dress or mom jeans,  it just can’t look wrong, so make your life easier and if you are still missing out on this classic, start building your timeless wardrobe from it!

 

2. Mom Jeans in Blue Colour

Mom jeans are one of the most flattering jeans that fit all shapes and sizes. They are more casual than skinny jeans and more chic than wide fit, there are just in between all the styles and that’s why they are exactly what you need for your every day outfits.

 

 

3. Camel Coat

Camel coat will add a stylish spice to your layered outfits. Whether you want to style it with trainers and t-shirt or black dress and heels, it’s a complete game changer to your wardrobe. If you already have one, you surely know what this hype is about and if not, stop missing out and get one before Winter starts!

 

 

4.Cashmere Jumper

If you want to invest in one jumper, make it a cashmere jumper. It’s one of those pieces that will not only last you for years, but you can also be sure that it will never go out of style. Cashmere jumpers are also a great transition pieces that you can style from Autumn / Winter season to Spring and Summer evening looks. The unique fabric is perfectly adjusting to the temperature, so you can keep it around all year long.

 

 

5.White Shirt

White shirt is one of those pieces that doesn’t need an introduction. Certainly it can be a perfect solution to style with jeans or culottes when you feel like you have nothing to wear. It’s also another transition piece that you can style with trainers and skinny jeans during day time, and swap shoes for heels in the evening to look super feminine and sexy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oversized Fit

Overshirts / Shirt Jackets are just a perfect solution for everyone who loves shirts and hates to hide them under layers of clothes during cold season. They might simply be an answers to your stylish Autumn needs and great alternative to trench coats that you wear every year. They might fit / look like a casual shirt that you already have in your wardrobe, however the fabric that they’re made of is much warmer and heavier than the usual shirt making them new capsule piece.

Overshirts also give you a fantastic opportunity to introduce and add some colour to your looks when it starts getting rainy and grey outside. For the cool and casual look pick one of the overshirts in bright colour like red, green or pink. To keep it more chic in Parisienne style, go for the beige alternatives.  If you are already convinced, that this is exactly what you need right now, take a look below at the best overshirts available to buy right now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Timeless Fabric

This season it’s all about adding edgy leather pieces to your every day and evening wardrobe. Whether  it’s leather shirt that you can style with a pair of jeans and Chelsea boots or leather trousers that will go with a white shirt and trainers, they will definitely make your Autumn / Winter outfits more exciting and stylish.  Real and faux leather are timeless fabrics that will always add a chic touch even to simple outfit, but they are also great transition pieces that you can wear either with trainers or heels.

High Street stores have plenty of affordable options of real and faux leather pieces. Have a look at H&M, &otherstories and ZARA where you can find the biggest selection. If you are not madly in love with leather pieces (yet), for a start you should treat yourself to a leather jacket and flattering leather trousers as they are one of the pieces that you can wear on repeat every year.
